JakeBrownBass Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Fodera Victor Wooten Re-issue Bass [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fodera-Victor-Wooten-Re-issue-Bass_W0QQitemZ220315298559QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item220315298559&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1431|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fodera-Victor-Wooten...%3A1|240%3A1318[/url] Is it just me or that bass really not a looker. I'm sure it sounds and plays amazing! But that laminate top with the normal neck and main body really do clash, or is it just me?? Jake Quote

Sibob Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah I know what you mean. Incredibly busy front wood, then boring as hell fingerboard/neck/main body! Quite odd! I'm not feeling it! Si Quote
thedontcarebear Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I think it's okay, but I still don't get how people can spend that much on a guitar. Quote
MB1 Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 MB1. That back must be another bass hes selling?...photo mixup? comes with tools and case! Buy it Now £4500...maybe youve gotta finish it yourself with the included tools? Quote
Wil Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Amazing how they've mananged to laquer the vomit to the body so smoothly. That's craftsmenship alright! Quote

Youd be expecting It delivered and demo'd by victor himself for that price! Quote
Happy Jack Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Is that a set neck? I can't work out what holds body and neck together. Quote

Wil Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 It's a special glue made from gold-dust and cocaine. Quote
OldGit Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Hummmmm Quite like fancy tops but that looks like it's been ragged and sponge painted on some make over programme on dole TV ... Quote
GreeneKing Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Nope it's just you, it's gorgeous But hey I'm from Mersea! Quote
4000 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 It's strange how Buckeye Burl polarises opinion. I absolutely love it. I don't think the bass is the best shape to start off with though personally. Now if it was a Matt Garrison, that would be a different matter altogether.... Quote
Bigwan Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Played this one (or its twin) in the gallery a few years back. Entirely unimpressed. The Emperor 5 was a different matter... I was about to sell Granny for that one... Quote
Alun Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I really don't like plain backs on basses - would much rather continuity. Still a crazy price when, for the same price, you could but a custom bass and a small car to transport it round in Quote
